ICYMI| Florida Gov Ron DeSantis has issued a warning to BLM and antifa telling them they had better steer clear of his state or they will face some real consequences. DeSantis said that he believes in the First Amendment and the right to protest peacefully but those are not characteristics we see from those two groups of domestic terrorists.
DeSantis said:
“The minute you harm somebody else, or you harm somebody’s property, or you do these types of things, the only way we’re going to stop it is to have very swift penalties for it.”
“You’ve seen in some of these cities, whenever there’s a little bit of unrest, literally there will be a U-Haul that just gets left there and there’s all this stuff in the back of it for these people to do all this stuff.”
“We don’t want that coming to Florida. There’s a lot of places around this country that have not stood by law enforcement… and the tragedy of it is that you’re seeing crime spike in certain parts of our country like we haven’t seen in decades.”
DeSantis went on to explain that without public safety and order, you will see societal collapse.
“If you’re in Portland and think you can come down to Florida and do this — stay out of our state. We don’t want you coming down here and causing problems,” he said. DeSantis went on to explain that if people do come riot, there will be “swift and severe” consequences.
Earlier this week, DeSantis announced $1,000 bonuses for law enforcement officials in his state.
DeSantis said that “some want to defund the police. We’re funding the police… and then some.”

The bonuses will be given to all police officers, firefighters and first responders in the state, he announced on Wednesday during a press conference.
Now, what do you think will happen? Will antifa and BLM call DeSantis’s bluff or do you think they are smart enough to know it’s not a bluff? Gov DeSantis does not strike me as someone who bluffs. He might even enjoy handing them their butts on a silver platter. Other than President Trump, Ron DeSantis is the only Republican we can get really excited about.
